Shopping is always good fun

Either you love it or hate it but you never escape it,thats a very cheesy way of putting across the experience of shopping but I would take that. Shopping like all the things in life which is fun but injurious like smoking,drinking,doping and blah blah is addicting. And its a costly and a time consuming addiction. There is an art involved in it. You need to know what to buy and where,bargain the correct way,see the most susceptible face and catch hold of that shop keeper and get yourself a good deal.I always love the whole experience.I still remember the blast we had in college trying to get ourselves cocktail dresses in a boutique. We would try out all clothes and pose for pictures and the shrewd owner would pretend not to notice because she knows we would ultimately fall for one.

There have been whole set of research papers on why women like to shop and men dont. People have come up with all kinds of suppositions and theories that I would come to believe it holds a vital key to unlocking the human psychology.And i really dont give a damn. I think people should work on how to open men up to the possibility of showing an ounce of patience when on a shopping trip.that particular evolution needs to come along. I have shopped in many places but the place I loved the most so far is Goa’s flea markets. They are designed for you to sin ,literally.Its the kind of place where your bank account would always take a nosedive,so throw your cards out before you enter the shop lest you end up spending a fortune.

But theres always a moderation thats needed and its with time you learn not to buy everything you see like a kid in a supermarket.But whats most interesting while shooping is to observe the riot of colors on the streets. its always fun to shop on the streets than showrooms. You save money and you enjoy yourselves. Its often a photographer’s delight.The people crawling across,the expression on their faces ,the vivid madness of it all is always worth capturing.I find the entire experience rejunevating and why not you are after all buying yourself some good stuff and thats always fun!
